Frequently Asked Questions: Supervisors

Are student employee wages subject to taxes?Earnings from student employment are subject to federal and state taxes. Students
need to complete their Federal and State tax withholding information in MyWebster under the Pay & Taxes tab, Tax Withholding. Student employees are generally exempt
from FICA withholding while school is in session, but this may not be the case during
school breaks. Student employees can print their W-2 through MyWebster. Also, if a student completes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
Federal Work-Study earnings should be listed as taxable income.

Are student employees required to take lunch breaks?Student employees may take an unpaid 15-minute break if they work 4 hours or more,
and an unpaid 30-minute lunch break if they work 6 or more consecutive hours. If the
student works 7.5 hours or more in a day, then they get two paid 15 minute breaks
and one unpaid 30 minute lunch break. The student employee should timestamp out for
his/her lunch and timestamp back in when returning from lunch.

Who makes adjustments and/or corrections to Timecards in MyWebster?Adjustments and corrections to a student’s timecard (missing timestamps, transfer
issues, etc.) can be made by the student’s primary supervisor in My Time – Enterprise eTime at any time during the current pay period. If time or pay needs to be adjusted/corrected
in a previous pay period a Student Employee Time Correction Form (see Student Employment Paperwork) must be completed and submitted to the Payroll Department.

Who must approve student employee’s timecard in MyWebster?Your student employees must approve their timecard in My Time – Enterprise eTime at the end of each pay period. Supervisors need to review and approve their student
employees’ timecard in My Time – Enterprise eTime at the end of each pay period in order for it to be processed. Only the ADP approving
supervisor listed on the Student Employment Authorization Form is authorized to approve
that student’s timecard in My Time – Enterprise eTime.

Who should approve my students’ timecards if I am going to be out of the office for
an extended period (e.g., maternity leave, vacation, sick, conference, etc.)If the authorized supervisor is not able to approve a timecard he/she must give someone
temporary approval authority through the delegation function in My Time – Enterprise eTime.

When should timecards be approved?Timecards must be approved in My Time – Enterprise eTime according to the Student Payroll Schedule. The normal day of submission is biweekly
on Monday by 10:00 a.m. Variances in the time and date of submission are noted on the schedule. The Student
Payroll Schedule can be found on the Payroll website.

What if my student employee falsified time on their timecard?Falsification of timecards may result in the student becoming ineligible to participate
in the Student Employment Program and judicial action could be taken against the student.
Please contact the Student Employment Coordinator to discuss our official Human Resource
policy on this matter.

May I fax a timesheet into the Payroll Office?Time must be recorded, verified and approved through My Time – Enterprise eTime. The only exception to this would be if a student has not been paid for time worked
in a previous pay period. In this event a Student Employee Time Correction Form should be completed and submitted to the Payroll office. The Student Employee Time
Correction Forms may be faxed to 314-246-8237 or scanned and emailed to the Payroll
Office, payroll@webster.edu.

How do students receive their paychecks?Students have three options to receive their pay:

1)Paper check. Students will no longer be able to pick up their paychecks from the business
office. If they are receiving their pay by check it will be mailed to the address
on record in their MyWebster personal information. This is why it is critical that students keep this personal
information is current.

2)Students can authorize a percentage of their pay (up to 100%) to be deposited directly
to their Webster student account. This is done by the student through MyWebster, Pay & Taxes, Deductions

3)**Preferred Option** Student employees can designate that their paycheck be deposited directly to a specific
bank of their choice. Students need to complete the Direct Deposit information through
the MyWebster, Pay & Taxes, Direct Deposit.

How do I advertise for a student employment position?Supervisors can post approved student employment positions directly to GorlokJobs, the Career Planning & Development Center's online career management database. A detailed
job description must be submitted to the Student Employment Coordinator before posting
that position on GorlokJobs. Once a job description is reviewed, given a wage classification and approved you
may post it in GorlokJobs.

Students interested in available positions will apply to the supervisor listed in
the job description. Supervisors can also include any special application instructions
in their job description.

What is the format for job descriptions?You must submit a job description for each position in your department. Students will
not be approved to work unless your position has been approved by the Student Employment
Coordinator and received a Wage Level Classification. Job descriptions should include
the following: Department, Job Title, Number of Job Openings, Supervisor Name, Email,
and Phone Number, Purpose of Job, Job Duties and Responsibilities, Required/Preferred
Qualifications, Physical Demands

How do I know if a student has Federal Work-Study?Every student who applies for financial aid receives an award letter listing the programs
and award amounts for which they are eligible. Students who are awarded Federal Work-Study
will receive an award letter from the Financial Aid Office. If students are not sure
whether they have Federal Work-Study, they may contact the Financial Aid Office at
(314) 968-6992 or the Career Planning & Development Center at (314) 968-6982.

What forms need to be completed?If a student employee has never worked on campus before, the following forms need
to be completed before the student employee may begin working: Student Employment
Authorization Form, I-9 with required copies of identification, and FERPA Agreement.
These forms are available on the Student Employment Paperwork Website.

It is your responsibility as a supervisor to assist your student in the completion
of these forms. If you have questions about the forms, you may call the Student Employment
Coordinator for clarification. If a student employee has worked on campus before,
only the Student Employment Authorization Form needs to be completed. International
students may need to submit additional forms to the Career Planning & Development
Center.

What is the process for hiring an international student?International students should contact the Student Employment Coordinator if they are
interested in finding a position on campus. International students will need to submit
additional paperwork for the hiring process. International students need to submit
a copy of their Passport, Visa, I-20, I-94, and a Social Security Number. All international
students will be required to complete information in the Payroll FNIS tax system.
The Payroll Department will contact international students with detailed instructions
on how to complete their tax information online.

What if an international student doesn’t have a Social Security number?All international students must apply for a U.S. Social Security number before employment
can begin, and the application requires a letter documenting an offer of employment
(a copy of the completed Student Employment Authorization Form can be used by an international
student applying for a S.S. number.) International students must have been offered
a position before they apply for a Social Security number.

International students should visit the Office of Admission Welcome Center once they
have secured on-campus employment. This office can assist international students with
the Social Security Number application process. The Multicultural and International
Student Affairs office can assist students with transportation to the local Social
Security Office. International students interested in this option should complete
the online request form found at http://blogs.webster.edu/mcisa/

International students will be able to register for the MyWebster portal with a temporary Social Security number. This number will be provided to them
with their MyWebster email instructions. Keep in mind an international student must apply for a Social
Security number before she/he can begin working. When the student’s social security
card arrives in the mail, the student needs to provide the Career Planning & Development
Center with a copy of the card.

How do I give my student employee a wage increase?Students must be in a position for six months before they are eligible for a wage
increase. Wage increases can be requested with a Student Employment Change form. It
is recommended that the wage increase be accompanied by a Performance Evaluation.
The Student Change form and the Performance Evaluation form are available on the Student Employment Paperwork website.

How is Work-Study awarded for my current student employees?Eligibility for Federal Work-Study, or any type of financial aid, must be re-evaluated
each year. As a result, Federal Work-Study eligibility is not guaranteed each year
as a student’s financial status may have changed over the course of the year. Additionally,
Federal Work-Study is awarded on a first come, first served basis. Supervisors can
help by encouraging their student employees to submit their FAFSA and Webster University
financial aid forms as early as possible (priority deadline is MARCH 1), so they can
increase their chances of receiving Federal Work-Study and other types of financial
aid. Students can submit an appeal for an additional Federal Work-Study award through
the Financial Aid Office.

Can students have their paychecks directly deposited to a bank of their choosing?Yes, students can complete the Direct Deposit information in MyWebster, Pay & Taxes, Direct Deposit, to designate their pay to be directly deposited to a specific bank account. Students
can also choose a percentage of their paycheck to go towards their student account
in MyWebster, Pay & Taxes, Deductions. In other words, a student could have 50% of their paycheck go directly into their
personal bank and 50% of their paycheck can go into their student account to pay off
any tuition due.
